Wade, Spoelstra Agree LeBron Is NBA's Best Player
Feb 07, 2012 10:17 AM EST
LeBron James is second in the NBA in scoring while shooting a career-high 55.2 percent and pulling down a career-best 8.5 rebounds per game.
"I think he's the best player in basketball," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
Dwyane Wade agrees with Spoelstra’s assessment.
"No one wants to win a championship worse than LeBron James," Wade said. "But when it comes to player talent, it's no argument from that standpoint (of James being the NBA's best player). Obviously, Kobe is arguably one of the greatest players of all time. But when you talk about the most dominant players in this league and the best players, it's no secret LeBron James is that player.
"I think he's having an MVP kind of year. No question that he is front-runner for MVP."
